ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the advantages and disadvantages of transvaginal hysterectomy for patients with non-prolapsed uterus,and explore the cause and preventive measurements of the complications of transvaginal hysterectomy.Methods The complications of transvaginal hysterectomy ( group TVH ) in 110 patients with non-prolapsed uterus and of transabdominal hysterectomy ( group TAH ) in 120 patients were compared with each other.These patients were chosen randomly from June 2006 to April 2010.Results In the TVH group,rectum hurt occurred in one patient,prolapse of fallopian tube in one patient and celiac internal bleeding in one patient.The preoperative diagnosis were not consistent with the postoperative diagnosis in four patients.Two patients encountered with postoperative residual end bleeding and four patients with vaginal residual end polyps.In the TAH group,three patients had postoperative diagnosis inconsistent with their preoperative diagnosis.In addition,there were four abdominal wall incision liquefaction ( including two phase suture in two patients),three postoperative bronchial lung infection and two residual end polyps.No celiac internal bleeding and visceral injury occurred in this group.Conclusion TVH has a higher risk of visceral injury and postoperative bleeding than TAH.These complications should be avoided when treating the patients with TVH technique.
